national disaster, depression, wow is me...the all blacks have managed to confound everyone and most of all themselves by choking yet again in the rugby world cup. Yes, the referee was poor, yes, the french defense was brilliant, but come on guys, there was no excuses for that shocking second half display. Knock on after knock on, boring drive after boring drive. 4 more years...at least we'll be on home soil...

Did a 10K run along tamaki drive again, this time with the GPS wristwatch thingy which was great. Went out with an (ex) marathon runner from work and unfortunately set out at a wee bit of a faster pace than i could maintain across the entire trip. Is great to be able to analyse the whole race, particularly for a geek like me. 58 minutes was the total time with average pace of 10.4km/hr. This is as boring as the tech posts isn't it?

Woohoo! My GPS wristwatch thingy has arrived. It measures distance, speed, elevation, heart rate, calorie count as you run. Even allows you to race against your previous runs and export the runs to google maps!

Thanks for the tips Carin! We got our new plate last week, one of the benefits of living in a small country means the number plates can be a bit easier to read..

Today, i ran with Luke along a new 7km route he's devised taking some of the Remuera slopes. A bit tough after yesterday's run, but we did it in around 43 mins, so speed of around 9.75km/hr, a bit up from yesterday in fact!
